Product Innovation

Bring the Bold with Product Innovation

We know the value of sustainability.

Our sustainability strategy is rooted in masterbatches that give back environmentally. Masterbatching can eliminate energy and emissions when secondary modification and reinforcement are not needed. There are 6 technology categories where we focus to help our customers meet their sustainability goals.

Product innovation is about doing the right thing and driving preference for your products. Sometimes it's doing more with less because ultimately, sustainability creates value.

Sustainable Product Strategies

Where you decide the best fit for your sustainable product needs.

Coloring Recycled Plastic

Take Post-Consumer Recycle (PCR) resin and give it sustainable coloring to your specification. Our color masterbatch solutions reduce color variations of PCR resin, utilizing otherwise discarded materials for new products, and reducing the final product's overall CO2 footprint.

Recycled Content and Carbon Black

Reduce your CO2 footprint while achieving recycling rate commitments with recycled resin. Each recycled carrier resin is custom-tailored to meet specific application requirements. And with the ability to increase the use of recycled carbon black, your final product can have many sustainability benefits.

Lightweighting

Do more with less while still maintaining the physical properties of your product. Light weighting is the easiest way to make a sustainable impact, as our Chemical Foaming Agent (CFAs) technology reduces density and optimizes cooling and throughput efficiency. Products designed with this technology are configured to be thin-walled.

Metallic Paint Replacement

Eliminate paint, and achieve the metallic effect in plastic. Our metallic paint replacement reduces cost, weight, GHG emissions, and waste through a six-sigma lean manufacturing model.

Sorting Technologies

Keep material out of the landfill and give it a second life. Our Near Infrared (NIR) Sortable Black technology allows products to be properly sorted and recycled.

Purging Solutions

Save energy, usage, time, and money with our UCClean® purge solutions. With efficiency in mind, our proprietary purge solutions scrub particulates from the extrusion or molding process, regardless of the colorant technology used.
